"Brecht on Performance: Messingkauf and Modelbooks" presents a
selection of Brecht's principal writings for directors and theatre
practitioners, and is suitable for acting schools, directors,
actors, students and teachers of Theatre Studies. Through these
texts Brecht provides a general practical approach to acting and to
realising texts for the stage that crystallises and makes concrete
many of the more theoretical aspects of his other writing.The
volume is in two parts. The first features an entirely new
commentated edition of Brecht's dialogues and essays about the
practice of theatre, known as the "Messingkauf," or "Buying Brass,"
including the 'Practice Pieces' for actors (rehearsal scenes for
classics by Shakespeare and Schiller). The second contains
rehearsal and production records from Brecht's work on productions
of" Life of Galileo," "Antigone," "Mother Courage" and
others.Edited by an international team of Brecht scholars and
including an essay by director and teacher Di Trevis examining the
practical application of these texts for theatres and actors today,
"Brecht on Performance" is a wonderfully rich resource. The text is
illustrated with over 30 photographs from the "Modelbooks."
